Artificial intelligence technology company AfricAI says it has signed a multi-year exclusive distribution and deployment agreement with Micropolis Robotics, granting AfricAI sole and exclusive rights to commercialise, deploy, and scale Micropolis’s advanced robotics platforms across Africa.
Under the agreement, Micropolis Robotics, a UAE-headquartered company focused on AI and robotics, appoints AfricAI as its exclusive continental partner. The agreement establishes AfricAI as the primary execution, localisation, and go-to-market platform for intelligent robotics across African industrial, security, logistics, and infrastructure sectors.
AfricAI says this mandate positions it as the gateway for advanced autonomous systems entering African markets, ensuring regulatory compliance, local capacity building, and sovereign control over deployment frameworks.
HRH Prince Malik Ado-Ibrahim, Executive Chairman of AfricAI, explains: “This exclusive mandate allows AfricAI to industrialise robotics deployment at scale while retaining control, compliance, and value creation on the continent.”
The partnership, the company says, moves beyond software-based artificial intelligence into the realm of physical AI – intelligent machines capable of operating in complex, real-world African environments.
The agreement enables AfricAI to integrate Micropolis’s autonomous robotics systems with AfricAI’s sovereign AI stack, enabling AI-driven security and surveillance platforms, robotics-enabled logistics and port operations, industrial automation, smart infrastructure and municipal robotics tailored to African operating conditions.
Embedded within the agreement are long-term performance-linked expansion rights, automatic renewals, and a structured localisation framework designed to anchor robotics deployment, workforce training, and skills transfer within Africa.
Initial deployments will commence in security, smart infrastructure, and logistics, with phased expansion across multiple African states as part of AfricAI’s broader continental AI, data, and intelligent infrastructure strategy.
